Today is April Fools day and did some of you have a good time making a fool of the other ? It was really funny in the school days to be silly and try all your stunts to make a fool of your friends. That's some good memories.Today my taste buds are craving for something tangy. I had some green brinjals in hand and thought why not experiment with them. So this recipe is the result of that experiment. If you like tangy taste, you will like/love, but not dislike this curry. Green brinjals are fried and cooked in yogurt gravy.

1 ) Heat oil in a pan, add turmeric powder, red chili powder and hing. Fry for a minute. Then add chopped brinjal, Stir and fry till brinjal is browned. Do not add salt now. Brinjal should not get mashed up.2 ) Meanwhile, grind and blend ingredients for yogurt gravy in a blender. Add this to the fried brinjal. Add salt to taste and bring to a boil on low heat. Take off the stove.3 ) Heat oil in a pan, pop mustard seeds, then add curry leaves and whole red chili. Fry for a minute. Add this seasoning to the brinjal yogurt curry.Serve this delicious brinjalyogurt curry with plain rice.

hey pravs,the process is similar to yours. I followed this recipe, you can try it if you like, but try to use the long brinjal for this to get the best taste.http://saffronhut.blogspot.com/2006/03/birthday-special-dahiwale-baingan.html

I have seen green brinjals before but never tried to do anything with it. I make a similar type of curry called ' mor kuzhambu' meaning buttermilk curry.But your ingredients are a little different. will try this and let you know.

Hi Pravs, I came across your brinjal kootan recipe and it looks simple and easy to make. We like to eat it a little more spicy than your quantity. So, it turned out great/ Thanks a lot for this recipe.Arun

Hi Arun : I am so happy to know you liked my recipe. You know what....i like it spicy too! But when i post a recipe, i try to be cautious and lower the spice level.So go ahead and make it as per your taste buds wants it.
